Be warned that newer HP/Cisco gear has dropped support for FEC in favour of 802.3ad/LACP... http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2006-September/011901.html I haven't experimented with ng_one2many, but my understanding is that it only provides a "dumb" balancing/bonding solution. Presumably we need an ng_bonding or something along those lines would be required to achieve parity with what Linux can provide...? --Antony _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED] "
Guess its about time someone start to work on a decent IPMP (solaris) like and trunking feature. In my opinion its an urgently needed implementation. cheers -- Alexandre Vieira - [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Alexandre Vieira - [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
